Template:GBmap-named Coleshill is a market town in the North Warwickshire district of Warwickshire, England, taking its name from the River Cole. It has a population of 6,343 (2001 census).
Coleshill is next to the border with the West Midlands just outside Birmingham, but a part of the West Midlands conurbation. It has not been completely enveloped by the latter, as open countryside lies between Coleshill and Birmingham, north of the point where Coleshill meets Solihull.
Coleshill dates back to Saxon times, (although a Roman temple was discovered nearby in the 1970s) but became important as a staging post on the coaching road from London to Holyhead. At one point there were over over twenty inns in the town.
One of the most notable buildings in the town is the Church of St Peter and St Paul which has a 52 metre (170ft) high steeple, dating from the 13th century, and a 12th century font.
The town is close to the M6 and M42 motorways.
